understanding knowledge sharing between it professionals an integration of Social cognitive and Social Exchange Theory
Behaviour & Information Technology, 2012Co-Authors: Mingtien Tsai, Naichang ChengAbstract:The research includes various constructs based on Social Exchange Theory and Social cognitive Theory. This study mainly explored the relationships among organisational justice, trust, commitment and knowledge-sharing cognition and verified their mediating effects through two variables of trust and commitment. A survey utilising a questionnaire was used with 252 IT professionals from IT companies and departments in Taiwan. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data and to evaluate the research model. The results showed that the research model fitted the data well, and the main determinant of knowledge-sharing intention was the building of organisational justice between knowledge intensive workers, confirming our hypotheses that trust and commitment foster organisational commitment. In turn, organisational commitment will help to build individual knowledge-sharing self-efficacy and both directly and indirectly affect intentions to share knowledge.

beyond safety outcomes an investigation of the impact of safety climate on job satisfaction employee engagement and turnover using Social Exchange Theory as the theoretical framework
Applied Ergonomics, 2016Co-Authors: Yuenghsiang Huang, Anna C Mcfadden, Lauren A Murphy, Michelle M Robertson, Janelle H Cheung, Dov ZoharAbstract:Safety climate, a measure of the degree to which safety is perceived by employees to be a priority in their company, is often implicated as a key factor in the promotion of injury-reducing behavior and safe work environments. Using Social Exchange Theory as a theoretical basis, this study hypothesized that safety climate would be related to employees' job satisfaction, engagement, and turnover rate, highlighting the beneficial effects of safety climate beyond typical safety outcomes. Survey data were collected from 6207 truck drivers from two U.S. trucking companies. The objective turnover rate was collected one year after the survey data collection. Results showed that employees' safety climate perceptions were linked to employees' level of job satisfaction, engagement, and objective turnover rate, thus supporting the application of Social Exchange Theory. Job satisfaction was also a significant mediator between safety climate and the two human resource outcomes (i.e., employee engagement and turnover rate). This study is among the first to assess the impact of safety climate beyond safety outcomes among lone workers (using truck drivers as an exemplar).

ICIS - Can Social Exchange Theory Explain Individual Knowledge-Sharing Behavior ? A Meta-Analysis
2008Co-Authors: Tingpeng Liang, Chiahsien WuAbstract:Motivating people to contribute knowledge has become an important research topic and a major challenge for organizations. In order to promote knowledge-sharing, managers need to understand the mechanism that drives individuals to contribute their valuable knowledge. Several theories have been applied to study knowledge-sharing behavior. However, the research settings and findings are often inconsistent. In this study, we use the Social Exchange Theory as our base to develop an extended model that includes IT support and organizational type as moderators. A meta-analysis on 29 reported studies was conducted to examine how different factors in the Social Exchange Theory affect knowledge-sharing behavior. The findings confirm that the Social Exchange Theory plays an important role underlying individuals’ knowledge-sharing behavior. The results also demonstrate that Social interaction and trust derived from the Social Exchange Theory and moderated by IT contextual factors can predict individual’s knowledge-sharing behavior.
